So round, so firm, so fully packed. Ray Davis, a really smart guy I can’t even understand sometimes, posts a dazzling entry, hardly more than a screen long, that brings together Teresa of Avila, Merle Travis, celebrity endorsement, the human desire to “bolster one unattainable yearning with another,” and the century-old American exploration of “the ambiguous frontiers of self-definition.” Plus: music and a picture. It’s a mind-bending synesthetic experience!

Talk about layered and embedded. Just following the link about Raymond Rohauer was an experience in itself. (It was a new story to me, and I like to think of myself as a film fan . . .)

I wanna be Bellona Times when I grow up. When I don't wanna be languagehat, that is.

Everyone wants to be Bellona Times when they grow up, although Ray said he sometimes wanted to be Waggish.
